In order to elucidate the origin of the +built-in binary EDID blobs and to facilitate the creation of individual +data for a specific misbehaving monitor, commented sources and a +Makefile environment are given here. + +To create binary EDID and C source code files from the existing data +material, simply type "make". + +If you want to create your own EDID file, copy the file 1024x768.S and +replace the settings with your own data. The CRC value in the last line + #define CRC 0x55 +is a bit tricky. After a first version of the binary data set is +created, it must be be checked with the "edid-decode" utility which will +most probably complain about a wrong CRC. Fortunately, the utility also +displays the correct CRC which must then be inserted into the source +file. After the make procedure is repeated, the EDID data set is ready +to be used. diff --git a/Documentation/EDID/Makefile b/Documentation/EDID/Makefile new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..17763ca3f12 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/EDID/Makefile @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ + +SOURCES := $(wildcard [0-9]*x[0-9]*.S) + +BIN := $(patsubst %.S, %.bin, $(SOURCES)) + +IHEX := $(patsubst %.S, %.bin.ihex, $(SOURCES)) + +CODE := $(patsubst %.S, %.c, $(SOURCES)) + +all: $(BIN) $(IHEX) $(CODE) + +clean: + @rm -f *.o *.bin.ihex *.bin *.c + +%.o: %.S + @cc -c $^ + +%.bin: %.o + @objcopy -Obinary $^ $@ + +%.bin.ihex: %.o + @objcopy -Oihex $^ $@ + @dos2unix $@ 2>/dev/null + +%.c: %.bin + @echo "{" >$@; hexdump -f hex $^ >>$@; echo "};" >>$@ diff --git a/Documentation/EDID/edid.S b/Documentation/EDID/edid.S new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..ea97ae275fc --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/EDID/edid.S @@ -0,0 +1,261 @@ +/* + edid.S: EDID data template + + Copyright (C) 2012 Carsten Emde <C.Emde@osadl.org> + + This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or + modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License + as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 + of the License, or (at your option) any later version. + + This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

An irq_domain to manage mapping is +preferred over interrupt controller drivers open coding their own +reverse mapping scheme. + +irq_domain also implements translation from Device Tree interrupt +specifiers to hwirq numbers, and can be easily extended to support +other IRQ topology data sources. + +=== irq_domain usage === +An interrupt controller driver creates and registers an irq_domain by +calling one of the irq_domain_add_*() functions (each mapping method +has a different allocator function, more on that later). The function +will return a pointer to the irq_domain on success. The caller must +provide the allocator function with an irq_domain_ops structure with +the .map callback populated as a minimum. + +In most cases, the irq_domain will begin empty without any mappings +between hwirq and IRQ numbers. Mappings are added to the irq_domain +by calling irq_create_mapping() which accepts the irq_domain and a +hwirq number as arguments. If a mapping for the hwirq doesn't already +exist then it will allocate a new Linux irq_desc, associate it with +the hwirq, and call the .map() callback so the driver can perform any +required hardware setup. + +When an interrupt is received, irq_find_mapping() function should +be used to find the Linux IRQ number from the hwirq number. + +If the driver has the Linux IRQ number or the irq_data pointer, and +needs to know the associated hwirq number (such as in the irq_chip +callbacks) then it can be directly obtained from irq_data->hwirq. + +=== Types of irq_domain mappings === +There are several mechanisms available for reverse mapping from hwirq +to Linux irq, and each mechanism uses a different allocation function. +Which reverse map type should be used depends on the use case. Each +of the reverse map types are described below: + +==== Linear ==== +irq_domain_add_linear() + +The linear reverse map maintains a fixed size table indexed by the +hwirq number. When a hwirq is mapped, an irq_desc is allocated for +the hwirq, and the IRQ number is stored in the table. + +The Linear map is a good choice when the maximum number of hwirqs is +fixed and a relatively small number (~ < 256). The advantages of this +map are fixed time lookup for IRQ numbers, and irq_descs are only +allocated for in-use IRQs. The disadvantage is that the table must be +as large as the largest possible hwirq number. + +The majority of drivers should use the linear map. + +==== Tree ==== +irq_domain_add_tree() + +The irq_domain maintains a radix tree map from hwirq numbers to Linux +IRQs. When an hwirq is mapped, an irq_desc is allocated and the +hwirq is used as the lookup key for the radix tree. + +The tree map is a good choice if the hwirq number can be very large +since it doesn't need to allocate a table as large as the largest +hwirq number. The disadvantage is that hwirq to IRQ number lookup is +dependent on how many entries are in the table. + +Very few drivers should need this mapping. At the moment, powerpc +iseries is the only user. + +==== No Map ===- +irq_domain_add_nomap() + +The No Map mapping is to be used when the hwirq number is +programmable in the hardware. In this case it is best to program the +Linux IRQ number into the hardware itself so that no mapping is +required. Calling irq_create_direct_mapping() will allocate a Linux +IRQ number and call the .map() callback so that driver can program the +Linux IRQ number into the hardware. + +Most drivers cannot use this mapping. + +==== Legacy ==== +irq_domain_add_legacy() +irq_domain_add_legacy_isa() + +The Legacy mapping is a special case for drivers that already have a +range of irq_descs allocated for the hwirqs. It is used when the +driver cannot be immediately converted to use the linear mapping. For +example, many embedded system board support files use a set of #defines +for IRQ numbers that are passed to struct device registrations. In that +case the Linux IRQ numbers cannot be dynamically assigned and the legacy +mapping should be used. + +The legacy map assumes a contiguous range of IRQ numbers has already +been allocated for the controller and that the IRQ number can be +calculated by adding a fixed offset to the hwirq number, and +visa-versa. The disadvantage is that it requires the interrupt +controller to manage IRQ allocations and it requires an irq_desc to be +allocated for every hwirq, even if it is unused. + +The legacy map should only be used if fixed IRQ mappings must be +supported. For example, ISA controllers would use the legacy map for +mapping Linux IRQs 0-15 so that existing ISA drivers get the correct IRQ +numbers. diff --git a/Documentation/RCU/RTFP.txt b/Documentation/RCU/RTFP.txt index c43460dade0..7c1dfb19fc4 100644 --- a/Documentation/RCU/RTFP.txt +++ b/Documentation/RCU/RTFP.txt @@ -1,9 +1,10 @@ -Read the F-ing Papers! +Read the Fscking Papers!

Before updating that serial, all modifications +are done by copying all modified blocks during that specific write request +(or period) and building up a new (stable) filesystem structure under the +inactive superblock. + +Each superblock holds a set of root inodes for the different filesystem +parts. (Inode, Bitmap and Longfilenames) +Each of these root nodes holds information like total size of the stored +data and the adressing levels in that specific tree. +If the level value is 0, up to 16 direct blocks can be adressed by each +node. +Level 1 adds an additional indirect adressing level where each indirect +adressing block holds up to blocksize / 4 bytes pointers to data blocks. +Level 2 adds an additional indirect adressig block level (so, already up +to 16 * 256 * 256 = 1048576 blocks that can be adressed by such a tree)a + +Unused block pointers are always set to ~0 - regardless of root node, +indirect adressing blocks or inodes. +Data leaves are always on the lowest level. So no data is stored on upper +tree levels. + +The first Superblock is located at 0x2000. (0x2000 is the bootblock size) +The Audi MMI 3G first superblock directly starts at byte 0. +Second superblock position can either be calculated from the superblock +information (total number of filesystem blocks) or by taking the highest +device address, zeroing the last 3 bytes and then substracting 0x1000 from +that address. + +0x1000 is the size reserved for each superblock - regardless of the +blocksize of the filesystem. + +Inodes +------ + +Each object in the filesystem is represented by an inode. (index node) +The inode structure contains pointers to the filesystem blocks which contain +the data held in the object and all of the metadata about an object except +its longname. (filenames longer than 27 characters) +The metadata about an object includes the permissions, owner, group, flags, +size, number of blocks used, access time, change time and modification time. + +Object mode field is POSIX format. (which makes things easier) + +There are also pointers to the first 16 blocks, if the object data can be +adressed with 16 direct blocks. +For more than 16 blocks an indirect adressing in form of another tree is +used. (scheme is the same as the one used for the superblock root nodes) + +The filesize is stored 64bit. Inode counting starts with 1. (whilst long +filename inodes start with 0) + +Directories +----------- + +A directory is a filesystem object and has an inode just like a file. +It is a specially formatted file containing records which associate each +name with an inode number. +'.' inode number points to the directory inode +'..' inode number points to the parent directory inode +Eeach filename record additionally got a filename length field. + +One special case are long filenames or subdirectory names. +These got set a filename length field of 0xff in the corresponding directory +record plus the longfile inode number also stored in that record. +With that longfilename inode number, the longfilename tree can be walked +starting with the superblock longfilename root node pointers. + +Special files +------------- + +Symbolic links are also filesystem objects with inodes. They got a specific +bit in the inode mode field identifying them as symbolic link. +The directory entry file inode pointer points to the target file inode. + +Hard links got an inode, a directory entry, but a specific mode bit set, +no block pointers and the directory file record pointing to the target file +inode. + +Character and block special devices do not exist in QNX as those files +are handled by the QNX kernel/drivers and created in /dev independant of the +underlaying filesystem. + +Long filenames +-------------- + +Long filenames are stored in a seperate adressing tree. The staring point +is the longfilename root node in the active superblock. +Each data block (tree leaves) holds one long filename. That filename is +limited to 510 bytes. The first two starting bytes are used as length field +for the actual filename. +If that structure shall fit for all allowed blocksizes, it is clear why there +is a limit of 510 bytes for the actual filename stored. + +Bitmap +------ + +The qnx6fs filesystem allocation bitmap is stored in a tree under bitmap +root node in the superblock and each bit in the bitmap represents one +filesystem block. +The first block is block 0, which starts 0x1000 after superblock start. +So for a normal qnx6fs 0x3000 (bootblock + superblock) is the physical +address at which block 0 is located. + +Bits at the end of the last bitmap block are set to 1, if the device is +smaller than addressing space in the bitmap. + +Bitmap system area +------------------ + +The bitmap itself is devided into three parts. +First the system area, that is split into two halfs. +Then userspace. + +The requirement for a static, fixed preallocated system area comes from how +qnx6fs deals with writes. +Each superblock got it's own half of the system area.

An NMI perf event is generated every "watchdog_thresh" +(compile-time initialized to 10 and configurable through sysctl of the +same name) seconds to check for hardlockups. If any CPU in the system +does not receive any hrtimer interrupt during that time the +'hardlockup detector' (the handler for the NMI perf event) will +generate a kernel warning or call panic, depending on the +configuration. + +The watchdog task is a high priority kernel thread that updates a +timestamp every time it is scheduled. If that timestamp is not updated +for 2*watchdog_thresh seconds (the softlockup threshold) the +'softlockup detector' (coded inside the hrtimer callback function) +will dump useful debug information to the system log, after which it +will call panic if it was instructed to do so or resume execution of +other kernel code. + +The period of the hrtimer is 2*watchdog_thresh/5, which means it has +two or three chances to generate an interrupt before the hardlockup +detector kicks in. + +As explained above, a kernel knob is provided that allows +administrators to configure the period of the hrtimer and the perf +event. The right value for a particular environment is a trade-off +between fast response to lockups and detection overhead. diff --git a/Documentation/magic-number.txt b/Documentation/magic-number.txt index abf481f780e..82761a31d64 100644 --- a/Documentation/magic-number.txt +++ b/Documentation/magic-number.txt @@ -89,7 +89,7 @@ TTY_DRIVER_MAGIC 0x5402 tty_driver include/linux/tty_driver.h MGSLPC_MAGIC 0x5402 mgslpc_info drivers/char/pcmcia/synclink_cs.c TTY_LDISC_MAGIC 0x5403 tty_ldisc include/linux/tty_ldisc.h USB_SERIAL_MAGIC 0x6702 usb_serial drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.h -FULL_DUPLEX_MAGIC 0x6969 drivers/net/tulip/de2104x.c +FULL_DUPLEX_MAGIC 0x6969 drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/de2104x.c USB_BLUETOOTH_MAGIC 0x6d02 usb_bluetooth drivers/usb/class/bluetty.c RFCOMM_TTY_MAGIC 0x6d02 net/bluetooth/rfcomm/tty.c USB_SERIAL_PORT_MAGIC 0x7301 usb_serial_port drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.h diff --git a/Documentation/networking/LICENSE.qlge b/Documentation/networking/LICENSE.qlge index 123b6edd7f1..ce64e4d15b2 100644 --- a/Documentation/networking/LICENSE.qlge +++ b/Documentation/networking/LICENSE.qlge @@ -1,46 +1,288 @@ -Copyright (c) 2003-2008 QLogic Corporation -QLogic Linux Networking HBA Driver +Copyright (c) 2003-2011 QLogic Corporation +QLogic Linux qlge NIC Driver -This program includes a device driver for Linux 2.6 that may be -distributed with QLogic hardware specific firmware binary file.

By contrast, the GNU General Public +License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free +software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This +General Public License applies to most of the Free Software +Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to +using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by +the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to +your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you +have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for +this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it +if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it +in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. + + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid +anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. +These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you +distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. + + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether +gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that +you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the +source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their +rights. + + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and +(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, +distribute and/or modify the software. + + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain +that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free +software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we +want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so +that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original +authors' reputations. + + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software +patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free +program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the +program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any +patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. + + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + + 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains +a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed +under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, +refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" +means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: +that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, +either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another +language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in +the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". + +Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not +covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of +running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program +is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the +Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). +Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. + + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's +source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you +conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate +copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the +notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; +and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License +along with the Program. + +You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and +you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion +of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and +distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 +above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in + whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any + part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third + parties under the terms of this License. + + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively + when run, you must cause it, when started running for such + interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an + announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a + notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide + a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under + these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this + License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but + does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on + the Program is not required to print an announcement.) + +These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, +and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in +themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those +sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you +distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based +on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of +this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. + +Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest +your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to +exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or +collective works based on the Program. + +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program +with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of +a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under +the scope of this License. + + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, +under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of +Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: + + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections + 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium + customarily used for software interchange; or, + + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer + to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you + received the program in object code or executable form with such + an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) + +The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for +making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source +code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any +associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to +control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a +special exception, the source code distributed need not include +anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary +form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the +operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component +itself accompanies the executable. + +If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering +access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent +access to copy the source code from the same place counts as +distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not +compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is +void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. +However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under +this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such +parties remain in full compliance. + + 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or +distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by +modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the +Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying +the Program or works based on it. + + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the +Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to +these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to +this License. + + 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. + +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under +any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to +apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other +circumstances. + +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the +integrity of the free software distribution system, which is +implemented by public license practices. Many people have made +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot +impose that choice. + +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to +be a consequence of the rest of this License. + + 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the +original copyright holder who places the Program under this License +may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding +those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among +countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates +the limitation as if written in the body of this License. + + 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions +of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will +be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to +address new problems or concerns. + +Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any +later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions +either of that version or of any later version published by the Free +Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of +this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software +Foundation. + + 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free +programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author +to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free +Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes +make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals +of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and +of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY +FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN +OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES +PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED +OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF +MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

In particular, + PCI and I/O devices have been reinitialized and are + in a clean, consistent state. +-- Once the dump is copied out, the memory that held the dump + is immediately available to the running kernel. And therefore, + unlike kdump, fadump doesn't need a 2nd reboot to get back + the system to the production configuration. + +The above can only be accomplished by coordination with, +and assistance from the Power firmware. The procedure is +as follows: + +-- The first kernel registers the sections of memory with the + Power firmware for dump preservation during OS initialization. + These registered sections of memory are reserved by the first + kernel during early boot. + +-- When a system crashes, the Power firmware will save + the low memory (boot memory of size larger of 5% of system RAM + or 256MB) of RAM to the previous registered region. It will + also save system registers, and hardware PTE's. + + NOTE: The term 'boot memory' means size of the low memory chunk + that is required for a kernel to boot successfully when + booted with restricted memory. By default, the boot memory + size will be the larger of 5% of system RAM or 256MB. + Alternatively, user can also specify boot memory size + through boot parameter 'fadump_reserve_mem=' which will + override the default calculated size. Use this option + if default boot memory size is not sufficient for second + kernel to boot successfully. + +-- After the low memory (boot memory) area has been saved, the + firmware will reset PCI and other hardware state. It will + *not* clear the RAM. It will then launch the bootloader, as + normal. + +-- The freshly booted kernel will notice that there is a new + node (ibm,dump-kernel) in the device tree, indicating that + there is crash data available from a previous boot. During + the early boot OS will reserve rest of the memory above + boot memory size effectively booting with restricted memory + size. This will make sure that the second kernel will not + touch any of the dump memory area. + +-- User-space tools will read /proc/vmcore to obtain the contents + of memory, which holds the previous crashed kernel dump in ELF + format. The userspace tools may copy this info to disk, or + network, nas, san, iscsi, etc. as desired. + +-- Once the userspace tool is done saving dump, it will echo + '1' to /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem to release the reserved + memory back to general use, except the memory required for + next firmware-assisted dump registration. + + e.g. + # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem + +Please note that the firmware-assisted dump feature +is only available on Power6 and above systems with recent +firmware versions. + +Implementation details: +---------------------- + +During boot, a check is made to see if firmware supports +this feature on that particular machine.

There is a dump_subsys being created by the s390 code, - perhaps the pseries code should use a similar layout as well. - - o Is reserving a 256MB region really required?

A more general solution is to only allow ptrace directly from a +parent to a child process (i.e. direct "gdb EXE" and "strace EXE" still +work), or with CAP_SYS_PTRACE (i.e. "gdb --pid=PID", and "strace -p PID" +still work as root). + +For software that has defined application-specific relationships +between a debugging process and its inferior (crash handlers, etc), +prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, pid, ...) can be used. An inferior can declare which +other process (and its descendents) are allowed to call PTRACE_ATTACH +against it. Only one such declared debugging process can exists for +each inferior at a time. For example, this is used by KDE, Chromium, and +Firefox's crash handlers, and by Wine for allowing only Wine processes +to ptrace each other. If a process wishes to entirely disable these ptrace +restrictions, it can call prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY, ...) +so that any otherwise allowed process (even those in external pid namespaces) +may attach. + +The sysctl settings are: + +0 - classic ptrace permissions: a process can PTRACE_ATTACH to any other + process running under the same uid, as long as it is dumpable (i.e. + did not transition uids, start privileged, or have called + prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE...) already). + +1 - restricted ptrace: a process must have a predefined relationship + with the inferior it wants to call PTRACE_ATTACH on.

The +conditional check requires checking a global variable for each tracepoint. +Although the overhead of this check is small, it increases when the memory +cache comes under pressure (memory cache lines for these global variables may +be shared with other memory accesses). As we increase the number of tracepoints +in the kernel this overhead may become more of an issue. In addition, +tracepoints are often dormant (disabled) and provide no direct kernel +functionality. Thus, it is highly desirable to reduce their impact as much as +possible. Although tracepoints are the original motivation for this work, other +kernel code paths should be able to make use of the static keys facility. + + +2) Solution + + +gcc (v4.5) adds a new 'asm goto' statement that allows branching to a label: + +http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-07/msg01556.html + +Using the 'asm goto', we can create branches that are either taken or not taken +by default, without the need to check memory. Then, at run-time, we can patch +the branch site to change the branch direction. + +For example, if we have a simple branch that is disabled by default: + + if (static_key_false(&key)) + printk("I am the true branch\n"); + +Thus, by default the 'printk' will not be emitted. And the code generated will +consist of a single atomic 'no-op' instruction (5 bytes on x86), in the +straight-line code path. When the branch is 'flipped', we will patch the +'no-op' in the straight-line codepath with a 'jump' instruction to the +out-of-line true branch. Thus, changing branch direction is expensive but +branch selection is basically 'free'. That is the basic tradeoff of this +optimization. + +This lowlevel patching mechanism is called 'jump label patching', and it gives +the basis for the static keys facility. + +3) Static key label API, usage and examples: + + +In order to make use of this optimization you must first define a key: + + struct static_key key; + +Which is initialized as: + + struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; + +or: + + struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE; + +If the key is not initialized, it is default false. The 'struct static_key', +must be a 'global'. That is, it can't be allocated on the stack or dynamically +allocated at run-time. + +The key is then used in code as: + + if (static_key_false(&key)) + do unlikely code + else + do likely code + +Or: + + if (static_key_true(&key)) + do likely code + else + do unlikely code + +A key that is initialized via 'STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE', must be used in a +'static_key_false()' construct. Likewise, a key initialized via +'STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE' must be used in a 'static_key_true()' construct. A +single key can be used in many branches, but all the branches must match the +way that the key has been initialized. + +The branch(es) can then be switched via: + + static_key_slow_inc(&key); + ... + static_key_slow_dec(&key); + +Thus, 'static_key_slow_inc()' means 'make the branch true', and +'static_key_slow_dec()' means 'make the the branch false' with appropriate +reference counting. For example, if the key is initialized true, a +static_key_slow_dec(), will switch the branch to false. And a subsequent +static_key_slow_inc(), will change the branch back to true. Likewise, if the +key is initialized false, a 'static_key_slow_inc()', will change the branch to +true. And then a 'static_key_slow_dec()', will again make the branch false. + +An example usage in the kernel is the implementation of tracepoints: + + static inline void trace_##name(proto) \ + { \ + if (static_key_false(&__tracepoint_##name.key)) \ + __DO_TRACE(&__tracepoint_##name, \ + TP_PROTO(data_proto), \ + TP_ARGS(data_args), \ + TP_CONDITION(cond)); \ + } + +Tracepoints are disabled by default, and can be placed in performance critical +pieces of the kernel.
